Red Devils hoping past head-to-heads will help them through

They sit one point above third-place PSV Eindhoven, who host CSKA Moscow in their final match, so almost certainly have to beat pool-toppers Wolfsburg away (9/4 with Coral to do so), which would see them finish first.

The Red Devils can take heart in the fact that they’ve won all three of their matches with Die Wolfe (5/4 favourites), including in the reverse fixture when Juan Mata and Chris Smalling ensured a close comeback 2-1 victory.

United without skipper Rooney again

Spaniard Mata has been in-form for Man Utd this term, even the club have not been the most impressive in attack, and is likely to start with injured captain Wayne Rooney not travelling to Germany. Back him at 10/3 to find the net anytime once more.

Goals, though, have been worryingly hard to come by for the three-time European Cup winners, and at the weekend were stuck in a 0-0 stalemate at home to West Ham United.

The likes of Anthony Martial and Memphis Depay really have a point to prove and as the main attackers available will be key to United’s hope of progression. They are 15/8 and 2/1 respectively in the anytime market.

Die Wolfe spoilt for choice in attack

For hosts Wolfsburg, meanwhile, they have an array of attacking talent too, with Bas Dost (5/4), Max Kruse (15/8), Julian Draxler (11/4) and former Premier League forwards Nicklas Bendtner and Andre Schurrle (2/1) on their books.

German-born Italian Daniel Caligiuri got the sole goal for his team at Old Trafford, and can be backed at 9/4 to score anytime.

The injuries to Morgan Schneiderlin, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Ander Herrera too have not helped Man Utd’s hopes of qualification, but CSKA could do them a favour by drawing or beating PSV.
